Welcome to the Altyverse Privacy Policy. We believe that privacy is a fundamental right, and our goal is to empower you with the tools and information you need to be in control of your personal data. This Privacy Policy aims to help you understand how and why Altyverse ("Altyverse," "we," or "us") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our website, applications, widgets, emails, and other services (collectively, the "Services").
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in three main ways: information you provide to us, information we collect automatically when you use our Services, and information we receive from third parties.
- Account information: when you create an account, we collect your name, email address, password, and any other information you provide. Your username and profile details are public and help us identify you within our community.

- Information from third parties: we may receive information about you from other sources, including partners, affiliates, or service providers, and combine it with the information we collect directly. For example, if you sign in using a third-party platform, we may receive information to help authenticate your identity.
